This Croat has been voted the most beautiful footballer in the world by the world's media: she has now signed for Hajduk

Croatian footballer Ana Maria Marković has signed with Hajduk Split, joining their women's team ahead of the upcoming season in the Champions League. This marks her first experience playing club football in Croatia after years spent in Switzerland and Portugal. Marković, who was born in Zurich, clarified this fact on social media, correcting misinformation previously stated on Wikipedia. She has had a successful career, including scoring a crucial goal for Croatia in the 2022 European Championship qualifiers. Despite being named the world’s most beautiful female footballer by global media and appearing on lists such as the '100 Most Beautiful People' by TC Candler, Marković emphasizes that she prefers recognition for her footballing skills over her appearance.
